Re: Suns News: Week 16 4/5 - 4/11

I just love the fact we are discussing which top seed would be best, along with home court for the first two rounds. It is sooooooo much better than planning when we are going to start to tank and which possible lottery pick we can waste this year. Man I have missed this!!! Long may it continue. So...

Hey Monty - what happened to playing through Ayton? He was awesome, but he also looked GASSSED about half way through the 4th. And he still looked much better than Saric did. The need a third option to play at center when Saric hasn't got it. Even having Cheick Diallo at the end of the bench would ...

Khem Birch being released...I would love to grab him, but sounds like he’s headed to Toronto
He'd be a tremendous pick up for us. Don't really see the point for the Raps.

Re: Suns News: Week 15 3/29-4/4

Might be the worst trade in history. It's funny that James Harden has now been involved in two super-lopsided trades. When OKC sent him packing, they got a really crappy haul, headlined by the underwhelming Kevin Martin. Oof. They did get the pick that became Steven Adams, I guess. This post got me...

Re: Game Day: Bulls (19-26) @ Suns (32-14), Wed 3/31/21

I think you always draft BPA. If you end up drafting a Steve Nash when you already have a Jason Kidd and a Kevin Johnson, so be it. That didn't work out. We got lucky to get him back in his prime. We traded him for the pick that became Shawn Marion, so I’d say it worked out. It was a good trade for...

Kawhi was absolutely dominant in the playoffs fir the Raptors. Like, he was a freaking terminator. And he make one if the most iconic shots in recent memory. While also being a terrornon defense (do you guys remember that no look steal? This is one of the most ridiculous plays in the history of bask...

Re: Suns News: Week 15 3/29-4/4

Craig has been a nice surprise. He is really physical and has a high motor. I agree shot selection can improve, but overall has been a great shot in the arm. And for free. Feels nice to be the ones sending out cash considerations in exchange for talent, for a change.

Re: Around the League: Week 13 3/15-3/21

They should have kept Kaminsky's 5M for this exact purpose. Smith, Carter, Kaminsky (at 5M), Nader and Moore would have enabled PHX to take 20M in a trade. This is also where Paul's $40 million a year really hurts. The Suns only have $7 million in space below the L-Tax threshold. They really don't ...

Re: Suns News: Week 14 3/22-3/28

I think Aldridge would provide value in the playoffs for us. We need one more big and some go-to ability beyond Booker and Paul; Aldridge would give us both (obviously in a limited role).

Fournier is probably a rental, but just 2 2ndRs is indeed a steal.

Re: 2021 Trade Deadline

Any interest in Terrence Ross? Jalen Smith/Jevon Carter/Moore would do the trick salary wise. Not from me. SG/SF is very well covered at the moment (even Craig looks like a nice addition). If Smith is moved, it should be for a more relevant piece that actually addresses a need. Otherwise, I am happ...

Re: Around the League: Week 13 3/15-3/21

In the past we'd have long discussions about guys like Bagley and Gordon because the roster was such a mangled collection of assets who didn't really play well together. Now the Suns have a nearly perfect roster with clearly defined roles, so it's essentially pointless to really consider any mid-se...

Re: Around the League: Week 13 3/15-3/21

I have no idea how Houston got anything for PJ Tucker. He has been awful. Should have been a buyout candidate, but Milwaukee is really desperate. Agreed. In a trade, a 2021 expiring PJ Tucker would have been worth at most a couple of second rounders, if that. An unprotected 1stR+ is simply extravag...

Re: Game Day: Pacers (16-20) @ Suns (25-11), Sat 3/13/21

I have no doubt either is getting at least 25M if he hits RFA. How else are you getting the other team FO to balk at matching an offer sheet? That's just it tho. Another team has to overpay to get those guys. Are they willing to? Is Bridges at 25mil really a gamechanger for anyone? I know all it ta...

Are other execs/owners really going to be throwing 25mil at either Mikal or DA? We waited Oubre out and got him for a 2 yr 30mil deal. In reality, Mikal probably isn't worth more than 12-14mil. Maybe we can get him at 18? I have no doubt either is getting at least 25M if he hits RFA. How else are y...

Re: Game Day: Pacers (16-20) @ Suns (25-11), Sat 3/13/21

The reports are already out that Bridges is looking for $20M/yr. I can't find it right now but I remember reading it a few weeks back. No surprise, and if he is ok with just 20M per, he should be extended asap. If he hits RFA somebody is going to do something actually crazy (remember Otto Porter? y...
